Two fast friends explore living in harmony with tech, one transatlantic phone call at a time. With a touch of nostalgia, Conrad and Verena blend the old and new, using analogue forms of communication to highlight how technology can enhance relationships and encourage connection.
The pair also regularly writes handwritten notes to each other, a nod to the pen pal culture of their youth. Join them as they search for harmony with tech in a no opt-out world, providing listeners with a soft place to land as technology weaves its way into more and more facets of modern life.

In this episode, Verena kicks things off with a family reunion update before claiming victory in the "Postcard Olympics." Spoiler alert: her Christmas postcard to Conrad showed up three months early. They dive into the joys of letter writing and ponder whether snail mail offers less pressure than the rapid-fire world of digital messaging.
Things get hilariously off-topic as they swap stories about traditional foods, family reunions, and the wild west of social media. From AI musings to Verena’s stationery obsession, they find themselves laughing over the random twists of life. Somehow, no matter where they go, it all leads back to those legendary postcards.
